What size socket for spindle nut?
Nothing like going to change your rear wheels bearing, only to find out you don't have socket big enough.

Yeah seriously. Not something I'd want to use on a nut calling for 164-200 FT/LB.

that's the price at autozone for one... It may have been more, but I don't remember for sure. It did'nt break on me, and it has a lifetime warrantee on it.

So you get a two foot breaker bar and put 100 lbs on the end. VIOLA! 200 ft lbs.
Don't forget to
not back off the nut while trying to locate the cotter key!

That same socket can be put in a small plastic bag and in the tailshaft of the transmission whenever you remove the driveline for any reason. Keeps the trans fluid in.
